I don't collect, but I have several that I'm particularly fond of. Almost all of mine are functional... IMO, a knife is a useful tool. Tools are no good unless they get used. Here are my most used:

  • CRKT M-16Z, combo edge - Good everyday carry knife, partial serrated, tough steel... holds an edge well, but won't take an uber-edge. Small enough that bystanders and coworkers don't wig out. Wipe the blade after use and oil occaisionally, the coating does NOT make it rust proof. I have one of the first ones they made and it's almost good as new.
  • S&W Border Guard 2 - Cheap enough to almost be considered disposable, but reasonably tough. Don't bother sharpening it, buy a new one. For me it's a giant box cutter and general camping folder. It's the only knife I'll pry with, but that's only because I don't care about it at all.
  • SOG Flash II - Like the above Border Guard, but get's more respect from me and doesn't get treated like a piece of junk. Real steel, real edge.
  • SOG Tsunami fixed blade - When I want a sheath knife... usually camping or off-roading. It's basically a pocket axe. I love it, but that won't stop me from abusing the snot out of it... It can take it, within reason.

For anyone with a passing interest you'll notice I'm a sucker for tantos (all but the M16-Z are tantos), but I'm starting to think about some of the more strange CRKT blade shapes for really roughing it. I can see the benefits of stuff like the Razel blades, but I dread the day I have to convince someone to sharpen one. :S While I do like my tanto blades, I pretty much always want a drop point available for intricate use, hence the M16-Z as my favorite EDC.

^Nice...I just have a whole bunch of random pieces, my most bad-ass looking being my big Winchester Bowie Knife :) . Got a nice set of throwing knives as well. Starting to get some of the Balisong (apparently another word for the Butterfly) tricks down, but the aerial stuff hurts like hell when you miss :P

I don't collect knives, but I have many. Gerber, CRKT, Buck, Case, Kershaw, Leatherman, no name brands etc. Fixed, lock, multi-tool, etc, from the baby KISS knife to some big 12" knives I use to debone deer. I always have a knife in my pocket and there's usually one or two in just about every drawer in the house LOL. I guess for someone that doesn't collect them I sure have a bunch. I just don't collect them for collector purposes. I use them skinning animals, stripping wires, cutting weed eater line, fishing line, strings off clothes, etc etc.

I have the curved blades from the Riddick movies which are pretty nice but apart from that I have some swords. I have a reverse blade katana like in the anime Rurouni Kenshin, a real nice replica of Anduril from Lord of the Rings, have the sword of the daywalker from blade, I have a huge (6ft long & 160lb odd) Masamune katana from Final Fantasy VII and I used to have a katana / wakazashi / tanto set based on the katana from the Highlander movies but I gave them to my brother a while ago.

I don't collect knives but I use a lot, I always have one in my pocket and dedicated ones for the vehicles. They range from gerber assisted folders to S&W fixed blades. My next knife is going to be a fixed blade Cold Steel Zero tolerance 0121 in Ranger green.

Does the DayWalker explode into spikes when anyone but you uses it :P ?
